Title-- Treatment not Time
Lead-- None
Body-- He's not violent, but he's definitely got a drug problem. Under California's new law, offenders like Robert Downey Jr. could get sentenced to treatment, not time….
1.Who is the story about? drug offenders
2.What will happen? For the next five and a half years, 36 thousand drug offenders will be sentenced to treatment.
3.Where did the story take place? California
4.When did the story happen? July 7, 2001
5.Why did the event happen? The only law they broke is they are in possession of drugs. They have no other crimes at the time; they have no other violent crimes in the last five years."
6.How did the story happen? Drug testing is another tool taken away by the new law. Without jail time or drug testing to keep addicts in line.

After reading the story, I can't know the meaning of some words exactly. And then, I do all activities and I think each part help me to realize the story. But, I think Vocabulary help me more to realize this story because it explain some word which I can't realize. So, I think this is a good way to learn English for me.

I search each question in Yahoo!!!

I got some trouble about Internet English~~

Dear Nicole~

I'm Gina56. (Night AFL)
I left my comments for no.1 and no.2 yesterday. Although Annie had already told me that I must leave comments for Ernie today, I always can’t connect to Ernie’s blog. I think his blog have some problems and I don’t know I should leave my comments for which number (another one). So, may I leave my comment for no.1 and no.2 this time and I will leave my comments for Ernie and another one next time.
p.s. Could you tell me another student number which I must leave my comments?

Thank you!!
Gina56

Differences:
Locos: their pages were classified according to subcategories e.g. Web, People, News….
Excite: it is more complex. Many options mix in one main page. It’s similar to yahoo.
Ixquick: it’s easy to use. Just search information. It’s similar to google.
